Welcome to Yoguitar!
I’m excited you are here. I have a passion for making music to help people relax and unwind. This is your home for Feel Better Music and practicing The Art of Slowing Down.
I began this project a decade ago with the release of Yoguitar, Vol. 1—a collection of guitar music intended to simulate the serene environment of a yoga studio for people’s everyday lives. The Yoguitar Mobile App is here and it’s the home for custom playlists I’ve put together for anyone looking to slow down, de-stress or unwind. I also have a collection of curated lifestyle products that promote The Art of Slowing Down. These products are designed to create an intentional space to slow down, enjoy the music and reconnect to your calmer state.
I began writing the music for this project with the intent to counter the increasing anxiety I was feeling from excessive screen time, social media and endless news feeds. That was 10 years ago! Little did I know it would only get exponentially more distracting. My hope was to create music inspired by beautiful nature that could be called upon whenever a little break or reset was needed.
I have kept the playlists under 30 minutes knowing full well that people have very little extra time in their busy lives. I’ve found that even taking a 10-15 minute pause with music can dramatically reset even the most stressful of days. As time goes on I look forward to adding new playlists inspired by travel, nature, cooking and more.
My heart has gone into every aspect of this project and will continue to as I add new music, playlists and products.
Stay tuned and enjoy your visit!
